JETCAM to Introduce New Software for Sheet Metal Industry at Fabtech International Trade Show in Chicago

JETCAM International introduce new versions of its core sheet metal software at the Fabtech International trade show in Chicago, November 9-12, 2015, at Booth S2279.

The company recently transformed its flagship nesting software JETCAM Expert recently with an entirely new interface in v18, along with several major new punching features including ASP (Automatic Sheet Processing). The latest v18 release builds on this with dozens of enhancements across the CAD, CAM and nesting sections, new turret management capabilities as well improvements to several popular postprocessors.

The new user interface draws much of its styling from JETCAM’s CrossTrack product, and focuses on reducing the mouse movements a user has to perform during day-to-day operations. All file management and tabular data views have been improved with new controls, and general performance enhancements have been made throughout the interface.

Attendees are invited to bring CAD files with them to submit for a free nest comparison benchmark, with v18’s new high performance nesting. Companies often see savings of over ten percent, which, when cutting expensive material such as titanium, can generate a return on investment in months or even weeks.

The Premium versions of JETCAM Orders Controller (JOC) also include several new features. Starting with CAD, a new DXF nest splitter allows users to automatically split a DXF file containing multiple parts. Multiple configuration profiles can be created, providing the user with parameters such as tolerance, whether to keep text or to use found text as the name for the resulting DXF files. With one click a DXF nest can then be split into separate files, ready for CAD import. Similarly, JETCAM Expert’s CAD filtering now also allows multiple configuration profiles to be configured through JOC, ensuring that the selected profile settings are applied automatically on a per-file basis, fixing any issues during the CAD import process. Other additions include improvements to part/nest costing and a new reports designer.

JETCAM will also be demonstrating the recently launched Cut Scheduler – a low cost and capable job scheduling application. Running in either standalone mode or as a multi-terminal master/shopfloor mode, it allows drag and drop scheduling of nests and one-click job starting, which downloads NC code to each CNC machine.

Elsevier Set to Introduce Sherpath Nursing Education Platform at National League for Nursing Education Summit

International scientific publisher Elsevier, a provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, has announced that it will introduce a new personalized learning solution at the National League for Nursing (NLN) Education Summit (Las Vegas, September 30–Oct. 2, 2015).

Billed by Elsevier as the first nursing education product of its kind, Sherpath uses data, analytics and adaptive techniques to track students' interactions with content, assessments and simulations while providing a highly focused learning path for each student. Sherpath empowers faculty to easily customize the learning modules to their specific course outcomes. Programs will now have real-time, learning analytics to monitor their program against accrediting body standards and student success towards licensure.

Developed by Elsevier Education experts using original research with students and instructors, Sherpath addresses the current needs at the educator, student and program levels. It is a personalized learning suite that integrates digital learning materials and the technology necessary to ensure nursing education program success for students, instructors and institutions. With a seamless, responsive and optimized platform, Sherpath provides a tailored learning path at the individual level, guiding the student to success on formative and summative assessments and ensuring a simple and engaging process of genuine learning.

"What is so exciting and unique about Sherpath is that it's designed to provide nursing students with greater confidence in their knowledge and empower faculty to teach with the utmost impact because they will know their students' strongest and weakest areas," said John Danaher, President, Elsevier Education. "Not only will this result in an overall better learning and teaching experience for students and professors, but we're looking forward to seeing better, long-lasting outcomes for students."

NLN Education Summit attendees can visit the Elsevier booth (#521) for a hands-on demonstration of Sherpath's capabilities and benefits. Attendees who stop by for a demonstration will qualify for a special giveaway.

"We understand that educators and academic institutions are struggling with incomplete, disparate technologies that address small pieces of the puzzle without offering a complete integrated solution, one that marries trusted educational content with the best that technology and analytics has to offer," said Danaher. "Sherpath accomplishes that. It's been designed from the ground up to address today's on-the-go learning environment where students are often overwhelmed and pressed for time and instructors are challenged to teach them effectively wherever and whenever students can learn."

Additionally, healthcare program directors can use Sherpath to monitor each program, course and campus at their organizations to ensure accreditation compliancy. Sherpath is currently piloted in 15 schools throughout the U.S. and will be available commercially in Summer 2016.
